Sheridan Stewart

Sheridan Stewart (ABC Sunshine Coast)

For more than 20 years, Sheridan Stewart has been one of Australia's favourite FM music radio personalities and presenters.

Sheridan's radio career took her from FOX FM, Melbourne to FM 104.7 Canberra, MIX 106.5 Sydney and MMM Brisbane before spending a decade at Triple M Adelaide and a memorable stint as the host of national radio countdown PLANET ROCK.

The last decade saw Sheridan go from, as one friend describes, "rock chick" to "renaissance woman", hosting and producing award winning Fringe shows, exhibiting as an artist and writing screenplays but...something was missing!

In 2014 Sheridan joined the ABC Regional team working initially out of Tamworth NSW, then Mildura, VIC before coming to ABC Sunshine Coast as the Drive presenter in 2016.

Fast forward to 2018 and Sheridan now hosts a longer, broader program for Regional Queensland taking in the Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, Rockhampton, Longreach and Toowoomba which she sees as a chance to connect with people living and working in one of the most diverse and dynamic parts of regional Australia.

"I have deep roots in Queensland, my father was born and raised in Gordonvale, my mother attended school in Rockhampton and then worked in Warwick and my in-laws are from Yeppoon on the Capricorn Coast so it felt like a natural step to find myself broadcasting in Queensland."

Until recently she has been living with her husband, a poodle, two donkeys, a horse, a goat and five chooks in the Mallee and before that the Adelaide Hills.

The big question is; which ones to bring to Queensland?

Sheridan is passionate about the arts, food and wine and professes to be part mermaid and part goat…so she's come to the right place!
